      This was a great transaction! Great seller, great communication, great packaging. It is a great set of high quality DVDs and arrived in perfect condition. They looked even better than described. The price was great too, as they considered and accepted my offer. The shipping was super fast, even for an object like a box of DVDs, which requires additional time and effort to package it right and ship it securely. I could not be happier.

      Everything came as promised and the books are in good condition. There was some issues with the tracking number, but they were good about communicating with me on it when I reached out. The second package showed up on my door step unexpectedly after 5PM that day. I would buy from this seller again.

      A nice, well-priced Russian grammar.

      This is not a recent publications, and contains the occasional anachronism, but it is overall a really nice little textbook that is easy to follow and use. I am quite pleased with this good coursebook, good value.

      Book looked pretty good when it came, with only a little bit of damage to the front cover. The price was also fair.

      Impressed

      An excellent companion for building a basic Russian vocabulary. Nothing substitutes spoken word, however this is a remarkable study material.
